Location: London, United Kingdom

Tarek Anwar’s long and diverse career has centred around building successful and sustainable multibillion dollar businesses. He has spent the largest part of his professional life with Bank of America and Standard Chartered Bank, as the managing director and corporate banking co-head of Europe. In 2016, Tarek launched his own company, FinVelo, which focuses on three core areas: coaching senior leaders at the top of their game, providing board level NED/advisory counsel, and mentoring for entrepreneurs. He is a trustee of British charity, ASTRiiD, and has been working with social impact tech founders to amplify their reach.

Tarek brings the insights of his long, successful career to his coaching at ALI-C, working with a hugely diverse clientele, across multiple industries and geographies: from financial institutions, governments and multilateral agencies, to large private sector corporates and family owned, multi-generation businesses.

Tarek has a unique way of blending his in-depth understanding of the corporate and business world with a mindfulness based approach to individual leadership transformation. His passion and energy is contagious and he has a talent for combining both Eastern and Western business philosophies in a way that is both creative and fun.

His interests include food, music, art, nature walks, Tai Chi, photography, and humour. His love of music goes beyond listening to actually creating and recording, and he often indulges his adventurous self by exploring the world on two wheels – both with and without an engine.
